Suspect wanted for multiple break-ins, thefts across Southeast DC The search is on for a suspect involved in multiple break-ins and thefts in Southeast D.C. Police are determined to catch the suspect, and they say he has a distinctive tattoo on his face that should help people identify him. Investigators say the suspect is responsible for four separate incidents from last Monday and Tuesday. Doorbell camera footage shows the suspect with headphones around his neck, a beard and a distinctive tattoo of a cross under his eye. D.C. police say the suspect broke into a home in the 300 block of 2nd Street, SE, on Monday, April 13. They say he left without taking anything. The next day, around 3:30 a.m., police say the suspect stole a Ring doorbell camera off a home on the 1500 block of K Street, SE, and destroyed ANC Commissioner Edward Ryder’s camera nearby before running away. Investigators say a few minutes later, just a couple blocks away, the same suspect broke into a home on the 900 block of 15th Street, SE. According to a police report, the suspect stole several items, including cash, a driver's license, credit cards, a MacBook, and truck keys. Police are offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case.

Virginia redistricting referendum: Voters to decide future of congressional maps Virginia voters will decide on Tuesday whether to approve a ballot measure to temporarily redraw the state’s congressional districts. The last day of early voting was over the weekend. Now, people will be lining up to cast their ballots at the box. ## State divided Tuesday’s special election is expected to be a close one, with Virginia considered a swing state. On the ballot is a simple yes or no question. "Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia's standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?" READ MORE FROM THE VA DEPARTMENT OF ELECTIONS But this has the momentum to shift the balance of power in the U.S. House ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. ## What would change? If approved, the measure would allow the Virginia General Assembly — which is controlled by Democrats — to redraw the state’s congressional voting map. The new map would favor Democrats in 10 of the state’s 11 congressional districts. Early voting ended Sunday, and polling shows a slight edge for supporters of the measure, but it's not enough to clearly project the outcome. Election Day will play a major role in determining the final call. The vote follows a fast-growing redistricting push that has taken place in multiple states. Democrats have been pushing their own redistricting measures after Republicans first took action in Texas following President Donald Trump’s call for redistricting in favor of the GOP. ## Residents speak out Voters in the Commonwealth say no matter which side of the political spectrum you lean on, it's critical that you vote. "I think it's important for what's happening all around us. It's important for democracy and for equality and fairness and things like that. It's important to be part of the process," Virginia resident Faisal Madi said. "Obviously, it's our responsibility in our democracy to be a participant in the political process and it includes how that process is happening," said Paul Senoyuit, another resident of Virginia. "So, whatever side you're on — if you like it, or you're against it — go out. Make sure it's heard." ## How do I vote? This election is only for registered Virginia voters. Polls open at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, April 21, and close at 7 p.m. All voters are eligible to vote by mail, but mail ballots must be postmarked on or before April 21 and received by 12 p.m. on April 24. FOX 5 will have the latest coverage on Virginia’s special election and will keep you up to date on any early polling results starting tomorrow morning.

Class action lawsuit filed over alleged misconduct by MedStar doctor A local doctor accused of sexual misconduct with patients is now facing a new class action lawsuit. A lawsuit alleges that Dr. James Curtis Roberson engaged in misconduct during visits, including repeated examinations without clinical indication, full-body contact during visits and inappropriate touching outside accepted medical standards. Lashawn Basham says she was a patient of Dr. Roberson beginning around 2021 or 2022. She sought care from a rheumatologist to manage a chronic autoimmune disorder that caused severe pain. Basham went to MedStar Orthopaedic Institute, where she met Roberson. Basham says it took time to recognize Dr. Roberson's conduct as improper. Basham is one of more than 100 potential plaintiffs in a class action case across Maryland and Virginia, according to the complaint. They are seeking damages in excess of $5 million and have named both Roberson and MedStar Health in the lawsuit. "Historically, MedStar Health has prioritized patient safety. We look forward to pursuing this case on behalf of the patients who say they were affected," said Philip Federico, Basham's attorney. MedStar Health released the following statement: _We’re grateful to those patients who came forward - we know it took a great deal of courage for them to do so. When we first learned of a patient’s concerns about Dr. Roberson’s behavior in early October 2024, we suspended him immediately._ _We will never tolerate inappropriate behavior by our providers, and we will always act quickly to address any allegations of misconduct brought to our attention. We sincerely regret any pain Dr. Roberson’s actions may have caused our patients and their families._

Some DC Ticketmaster customers could get refunds in $9.9 million settlement, AG Says Some customers in Washington, D.C., who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster may be eligible for money back under a major consumer protection settlement announced by the District’s attorney general. Attorney General Brian Schwalb said Live Nation Entertainment will pay $9.9 million and change its ticketing practices after an investigation into what officials described as misleading pricing tactics that affected consumers for years. The settlement stems from allegations that the company advertised low ticket prices upfront, only to reveal mandatory fees later in the checkout process. According to the Office of the Attorney General, investigators found that from 2015 until May 2025, Ticketmaster displayed initial ticket prices that did not include required fees, causing totals to rise later during checkout. The investigation also found the company allegedly failed to clearly explain certain charges, including what some fees were for and who benefited from them. Officials further alleged consumers were shown pressure messages such as "tickets are selling fast" or prompts urging them to buy immediately, even when those warnings may not have reflected actual demand. Under the settlement, Live Nation and Ticketmaster agreed to continue displaying full ticket prices — including mandatory fees — upfront throughout the purchasing process. The company has also updated disclosures explaining the purpose of different fees. Beth Mellen, deputy attorney general for public advocacy, said consumers deserve transparency when making purchases. "Consumers should pay the price that they see, and they should see the price that they have to pay," Mellen said. "This is true of any business and any consumer in the District." She added that hidden or unclear fees were a central issue in the case. "Consumers in D.C. have the right to full information about any fee that’s being charged," Mellen said. Some local residents welcomed the settlement and the possibility of refunds. "More money in people’s pockets is always a good thing," said Victoria Roman. "Life is expensive. Surviving is hard." Others questioned whether the changes go far enough. "I know they’re changing the way they’re doing it, but are they still going to have the fees?" said Doug Owens. "If they’re not getting rid of the fees, which are exorbitant, what’s the point?" The biggest question now is who qualifies for refunds — and how much they may receive. The attorney general’s office says details about eligibility and the claims process are expected in the coming months. Consumers who used Ticketmaster or Live Nation are encouraged to watch their email for updates and possible next steps.

Lyrid meteor shower peaks this week: Everything you need to know Meteors are about to light up the night after months of quiet skies! The Lyrid meteor shower has returned, and is expected to peak this week with ideal viewing conditions for the Northern Hemisphere. Known as one of the oldest reported meteor showers, the "Lyrids" will end a nearly 16-week stretch without visible meteors. ## When will the Lyrid meteor show peak? The meteor shower is active from April 14–25, but will peak late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning with a rate of 10 to 20 Lyrids per hour, Experts say sky gazers will have a good view of the meteor shower around 1:15 a.m. Wednesday, because the sky will be dark and moonless for a little over three hours. ## How to watch Although the moon's light may not get in the way of this month's viewing, city lights still can! Here's how to get the best viewing: * Move away from tall buildings and artifical lights * Give your eyes 15 to 30 minutes to adjust to the nighttime sky * Face a dark, clear patch of sky on the northeastern horizon * Look slightly away from the Lyra constellation to catch the brightest trails * Don't use binoculars * Lie back and be patient The Eta Aquarids meteor shower, which is caused by debris from Halley's Comet, became active on Sunday. However, it will peak during the first of May, and last through most of the month.

A recent study revealed the best place in the United States for recent college graduates, and Washington D.C. was ranked No. 1 for big cities thanks to its strong starting salaries, career opportunities and work-life balance.

"D.C. is a place of opportunity," said Andre Margutti, a local Redfin Premier agent. "Students graduate from Georgetown or George Washington University, and they stay because there are so many job prospects. Or they graduate from school in an entirely different part of the country, and they move here for the same reason. Recent graduates in DC will reportedly earn bigger paychecks than most large cities, while paying for more affordable housing compared to other big coastal cities. Here's the breakdown: * Average annual early-career earnings: $79,857 * Price of typical starter home: $320,000 * Years to save for down payment: 4 years, 2 months * Monthly mortgage payment as % of income: 31.6% * Monthly rent as % of income: 34% Omaha, Nebraska, came in second place for best big U.S. cities for recent grads, followed by Boston, Dallas, Chicago, Houston, St. Louis, San Diego, Miami and Austin.

Virginia redistricting vote: What to know about Tuesday’s special election Virginia voters head to the polls Tuesday to decide whether lawmakers should be allowed to temporarily redraw the state’s congressional map ahead of the midterms, a proposal that could shift the balance of the state’s House delegation. The measure has drawn sharp debate. Supporters say the temporary redistricting aligns with steps taken in other states, while opponents argue it amounts to a political power grab. Early voting ended Sunday, and turnout on Election Day is expected to play a major role in determining the outcome. Political analysts caution that even favorable maps do not guarantee results, noting that voter turnout and unpredictable races could make the difference. Polling shows a slight edge for supporters of the measure, but it’s not enough to clearly project the outcome. And even if voters approve it, the proposal still faces a legal challenge before the Virginia Supreme Court. Election officials say polls will be open Tuesday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., with results expected later that night. ## April 21, 2026 | Virginia Redistricting Vote Special Election ## When to Vote **Polling places are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Election Day.** Anyone in line at 7:00 p.m. will be allowed to vote. ## Where to Vote Voters may look up their polling place or they may contact their General Registrar for more information. ## How to Vote When voting in-person, you will be asked to provide an acceptable form of identification at the polls. * More details on voting in-person >> ## Special Election Details Proposed Constitutional Amendment - Statewide (Enabling Legislation) Alexandria City Council Special Election (Writ) Proposed Amendment for April 2026 Special Election Explanation for Proposed Constitutional Amendment to Be Voted On at the April 21, 2026, Special Election PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT **BALLOT QUESTION** Question: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia's standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census? ## EXPLANATION FOR VOTERS April 21, 2026 Proposed Constitutional Amendment Explanation 2026 Constitutional Amendment Brochure (Spanish) (Vietnamese) (Korean) 2026 Constitutional Amendment Poster (Spanish) (Vietnamese) (Korean) ### Present Law Virginia's eleven congressional districts are drawn once every ten years by the Virginia Redistricting Commission, a legislative body made up of eight legislators and eight citizens, with an equal number of Republicans and Democrats. Virginia's congressional districts were last redrawn in 2021 and will next be redrawn in 2031. ### Proposed Law The proposed amendment would give the General Assembly the authority to redraw one or more of Virginia's congressional districts before 2031 in limited circumstances. In the event that another state redraws its own congressional districts before 2031, without being ordered by a court to do so, the General Assembly would then be able to redraw Virginia's congressional districts. The General Assembly's power to do so would continue until October 31, 2030, and the Virginia Redistricting Commission would reassume the responsibility of drawing the congressional districts in 2031. The proposed district map has been approved by the General Assembly and would take effect only if the constitutional amendment is approved by the voters. A "yes" vote would allow the General Assembly to redraw Virginia's congressional districts, since other states have done so, in addition to giving effect to the proposed district map in time for the 2026 Congressional elections, and return the responsibility of drawing the congressional districts in 2031 to the Virginia Redistricting Commission. A "no" vote would leave the authority to draw congressional districts with the Virginia Redistricting Commission once a decade and Virginia's current districts would remain in place. ## **FULL TEXT OF AMENDMENT** [Proposed new language is _underlined_. Deleted old language is stricken.] ### ARTICLE II ### FRANCHISE AND OFFICERS **Section 6. Apportionment.** Members of the House of Representatives of the United States and members of the Senate and of the House of Delegates of the General Assembly shall be elected from electoral districts established pursuant to _this section and_ Section 6-A of this Constitution. Every electoral district shall be composed of contiguous and compact territory and shall be so constituted as to give, as nearly as is practicable, representation in proportion to the population of the district. Every electoral district shall be drawn in accordance with the requirements of federal and state laws that address racial and ethnic fairness, including the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, and judicial decisions interpreting such laws. Districts shall provide, where practicable, opportunities for racial and ethnic communities to elect candidates of their choice. The Commonwealth shall be reapportioned into electoral districts in accordance with this section and Section 6-A in the year 2021 and every ten years thereafter _, except that the General Assembly shall be authorized to modify one or more congressional districts at any point following the adoption of a decennial reapportionment law, but prior to the next decennial census, in the event that any State of the United States of America conducts a redistricting of such state's congressional districts at any point following that state's adoption of a decennial reapportionment law for any purpose other than (i) the completion of the state's decennial redistricting in response to a federal census and reapportionment mandated by the Constitution of the United States and established in federal law or (ii) as ordered by any state or federal court to remedy an unlawful or unconstitutional district map_. Any such decennial reapportionment law _, or reapportionment law modifying one or more congressional districts,_ shall take effect immediately and not be subject to the limitations contained in Article IV, Section 13, of this Constitution. The districts delineated in the decennial _any_ reapportionment law shall be implemented for the November general election for the United States House of Representatives, Senate, or House of Delegates, respectively, that is held immediately prior to the expiration of the term being served in the year that the reapportionment law is required to be enacted.

Trial begins in recall effort against Purcellville vice mayor An effort to remove Purcellville’s vice mayor is heading to trial Monday after delays linked to separate criminal cases involving town leadership. Residents have been pushing for a recall against Vice Mayor Carl "Ben" Nett for nearly a year. Nett is accused of misconduct connected to efforts to dismantle the town’s police department during a multimillion‑dollar budget shortfall. Both Nett and Purcellville Town Manager Kwasi Frasier were arrested last summer with Nett facing multiple counts tied to bid rigging and conspiracy, along with charges alleging violations of Virginia’s Criminal Information Network. READ MORE: Purcellville Police Department will remain funded through 2026 after outrage at town council meeting Nett previously served as a Purcellville police officer. FOX 5 previously reported that Frasier and Nett allegedly hired an independent consultant to review the town’s police department, which resulted in a recommendation to appoint Nett as police chief. When that did not happen, there was apparently a move to disband the entire department, raising conflict‑of‑interest concerns. **RELATED:** Purcellville vice mayor, town manager arrested by Loudoun County Sheriff's Office While the recall trial moves forward, Nett has already been removed from office by Governor Abigail Spanberger. Spanberger recently signed a bill that would suspend him from his council seat pending the outcome of his criminal charges. Court records show his criminal trials are scheduled for October and December.

Video of officer accused of pulling girls off bike in Navy Yard draws criticism D.C. police are facing criticism after video shows an officer accused of pulling two girls off a bicycle near the Navy Yard Metro station as juvenile curfew zones took effect. The incident happened over the weekend as the mayor’s executive order on extended juvenile curfews went into effect after the D.C. Council failed to renew the curfew law. Neighbors told FOX 5 they were concerned officers were escalating interactions with teens. Video recorded after the curfew began shows officers outside the Navy Yard Metro station as crowds left a Nationals game. In the footage, an officer approaches two girls on bikes and appears to pull one of them forcefully to the ground. The girls can be heard shouting, "What are you doing? Why are you grabbing me?" The extended curfew zones begin at 8 p.m. and teens in groups of nine or more are not allowed to gather. The community member who recorded the video told FOX 5 he felt officers were not enforcing the curfew fairly. That same night, a teenage boy was shot near the Waterfront Metro station. He was taken to a hospital with non‑life‑threatening injuries. The shooting occurred outside the designated curfew zones.
